Are these matches only for semi's or can us bolt dudes get in on them?

Both.  Bolt guns will get additional time on the rapid fire stages.  I'll post the rules in a new thread when everything is finalized.

I have shot two different bolt guns at the mini cmp match and despite not getting 4 shots off the first time I still shot rifleman both times.  I'll tell you its hard, but a ton of fun to out shoot semi auto's.

I'll be out on January 28 for the next cmp, come on out and watch if nothing else.

Don't mean to intervene here, but from talking with bkoenig and sparky0068, the general idea is to get anyone/ everyone young and old, with some sort of repeating .22 cal rifle on the firing line.  Semi, Bolt, Lever?  (my old single shot H&R Pioneer may not make the cut, unless I get REALLY fast at dropping in each round)  No need for a big investment, grab ol' reliable, stop at Wallmart for some bulk ammo and head to the Ikes! 
 I'm looking forward to this as it gives my daughter a chance with her pink Marlin 60, my son with what ever bolt action I find for him, me with my Glenfield, and maybe my brother up with one of his numerous lever action rimfires.  Sounds like a good day at the range family event.

It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

And that was without the extra time you'll get in a rimfire sporter match.  The CMP designed this specifically to not be an equipment race.
